Vacation rentals with a pool in Puerto Ayora

The accommodation is very useful if you go with family and very nice! If you like walking, it's 15-20 minutes from downtown, but there are vans that are always in the neighborhood and for $1.50 they take you to the shopping area!

Fabulous place with a great host!

Ximena and Charles were really great hosts. It was our first time visiting the Galapagos and they really made us feel welcomed. They organized everything we needed from the moment we arrived at the airport, helped us book tours, find restaurants, etc. The cottages are well stocked with breakfast, drinks and fresh fruit. It was really an excellent stay. We would happily stay here again.

We loved our stay at Shangri-la. It is in an area that can only be accessed by catching a water taxi from the waterfront at Puerto Ayores. This is much easier than it sounds. Water taxis run all the time and we never waited more than five minutes . The trip then takes five minutes and it’s very pleasant. It is then only a few minutes walk to the lovely home of Shangri-la. Juan met us in Puerto Ayores and helped us with our luggage and the water taxi on arrival and departure. The house is great. It has three bedrooms, kitchen, dining and living area and an awesome top level balcony with hammock and spa bath. It is very clean. The pool is great to have. The kitchen is well equipped. We liked being able to do some self-catering. It is a short walk to 3 restaurants and a beach. Communication was excellent. Juan stayed at a separate (but on site) residence. This was unexpected-we anticipated the place entirely to ourselves-but was not a problem, and he was very helpful. Highly recommended.

We loved staying at the Dock House during our time in Puerto Ayora. It was very convenient to have access to the Ninfa Hotel for the amenities and breakfast available there. The house location is just a short walk away from the hotel but positioned very conveniently to the pier where we departed for all our tours and ferry. It was also close to the supermarket and local restaurants. We really enjoyed walking down to the pier in the evenings to watch all the sealife. The house is large and well equipped. The private yard with the hot tub, seating areas and hammocks was well enjoyed by our family when we needed some downtime after the long day tours. The bathrooms are updated and modern. They supplied a water bottle dispenser with drinkable water which was also appreciated. Overall, we think this was the perfect spot for our family of 5 during our stay in Puerto Ayora.

Amazing ambiance and excellent service. Only complaint is partially my fault, but some direction on airport logistics prior to arrival would have made trip more enjoyable, I was unable to make it to destination upon arrival because ferries were closed, and come to realize this massive inconvenience could have been avoided by knowledgeable communication, most visitors are not locals!! it's not OK to assume visitors know these logistics. Staff was amazing and particularly Lorana was absolutely amazing and made our trip 5 star she cooked delicious meals at really reasonable prices. Thank You Lorana!!!

Staying at this apartment in Puerto Ayora was such a special experience. The space was spotless, comfortable, and had everything we needed. The location was perfect—just a short walk to everything, but still quiet and peaceful. And the breakfast... honestly, it was unbelievable. Fresh, delicious, and made with so much care—it was one of the highlights of our mornings. But what truly made this place unforgettable were Verónica and Javier. They treated us like family from the moment we arrived. Always available, always kind, and incredibly helpful with organizing tours and making sure we had the best possible experience. Their warmth and attention to detail made all the difference. We left feeling grateful—and already dreaming of coming back.

Enrique Veronica and Javier were excellent host during our stay for the week. Not only did we have breakfast every morning exactly when we asked there was a variety of different items that were served. Additionally, Veronica helped out immensely with tours and even getting our laundry done. We would highly recommend this location and in future trips we will stay again. Thank you, Veronica and Javier.

This is a great find! although there were renovations, the host was very accommodating to work around it. Veronica and Javier absolutely made this AirBnB one of the best I've ever stayed in! William was a recommended driver direct from the host and he was also worth his weight in gold! Bikes were provided along with helmets and the Port is within 10 minutes walking. I loved everything about our stay and we will definitely return!

We liked this place so much that we came back for a second stay. The hosts are super kind and very helpful. The pool is wonderful. The room is great. Location is nice. Breakfast is yummy. Hard to beat a place like this.

Very clean and nice, would recommend and come again, amazing for the price
